Dear Friends of Lake Ontario and the St.
Lawrence River:
You and the members
of your group are invited to attend one of the public meetings being held by the
International Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River Water Level Study this
summer. We hope that you will put a link on your website to our site,
www.losl.org, and let your
members know about the meeting located in your area.
Before the Study Board prepares its final report
with candidate plans to the regulate the outflows from Lake Ontario through the
St. Lawrence River for the International Joint Commission, we need your input
regarding our candidate plans:
Plan A: Balanced Economic
Plan
* Designed to
maximize overall economic benefits.
*
Provides some improvement for the
environment, especially for the Upper St. Lawrence River.
* Has losses for shoreline
interests on Lake Ontario and the River.
*
Provides recreational boating
benefits.
Plan B: Balanced
Environmental Plan
* Designed to
simulate more natural conditions and provide overall economic benefits.
* Improves the
environment on the Lake and Upper River.
*
Has losses to shoreline interests with
significant flooding potential around Montréal.
*
Has losses to recreational boating,
especially on the Lake.
Plan D: Blended Benefits
Plan
* Designed for
balanced performance, with overall economic benefits and minimizes
losses.
* Little change from 1958D with deviations (1958DD) for
the environment.
* No overall losses for shoreline interests, but some
flooding potential.
* Provides recreational boating benefits.
Please attend a meeting this summer to provide
feedback on the various plans. The schedule for summer meetings is listed
